Andy, think of it as building a large dovetail jig, like Leigh, only the fingers where the guide bushing rides are a lot longer, if you cut the spacers all the same size you end up with equally spaced tails On the wood, just make it long enough that you can cut all of them without moving the jig, I hope this helps, if you would like I could make a small one so you can get the concept, this jig does work well.
I would not use the legacy, router table,or shaper for this, there are too many variables that have to be controlled with them, With this jig cut all the spacers the same size screw it all together clamp it on your piece of wood so nothing moves, Take the router with a guide bushing in it run it down the open grooves on the jig and you got consistent equally spaced tails, Let me know if I can help you further, Roger On Wednesday, August 1, 2012, Andy wrote: > I was originally planning on rotating the stock to 45 degrees and then use > the Y axis only to cut the sliding dovetails.
